Pulled Pork, Kansas City–Style

The sign over Porky’s BBQ says it serves Kansas City–style barbecue. The place is fragrant with hickory smoke, and the pulled pork sandwich is the best in all of Los Angeles, says exilekiss. “The pulled pork shoulder had a real, honest hickory smokiness and it was *so* tender and moist!” Porky’s is hands-down the Los Angeles winner for flavor and tenderness, says Dommy.

“I love Porky’s—for the food and the value, but also for the warmth and friendliness of their people,” says nosh. “My goodness, when the place isn’t crowded they usually ask what I’d like to watch on their flatscreens.”

Barbecue pork ribs taste fresh—clearly made every morning. The St. Louis spareribs are even better than the baby back ribs, says nosh. Collard greens are the best that Jeryy has ever had.
